Report an On-The-Job Injury or Illness

Need to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

There are now three ways to report a Worker’s Compensation injury or illness claim. The County’s
Web Report tool is the fastest and most secure way to report a claim.

Web Report presents several advantages to the injured worker and to a supervisor including:

Increased protection of private information – no more paper copies of your injuries floating around the County.

Web Report transmits data directly to Risk Management in real time. Once submitted, you instantly receive a receipt with a claim number right on it.

The Web Report receipt can be given to a supervisor as proof of the injury.

Once your injury is assigned to an adjuster, you will instantly receive via your supplied email, their name and contact information, your completed First Report of Injury Form, and a document that answers many of the common questions asked by injured workers.

Reporting Tips

Mouse between data fields or use the Tab button to move forward.

Dates can be entered as mm/dd/yyyy or mmddyyyy.

Time can be entered as 09:30 a.m. or 0930a and Web Report will add the rest.

Occupation is a drop down list. If your position is temporary it will begin with a “(T)”. All UPD positions begin with “UPD” for example “UPD Officer”.

After entering the security code at the bottom a pop-up window appears with your claim number and asks about sending a receipt report. Be sure to write down the claim number if you are not printing the receipt.

If you don’t want to use the Web Report, the old paper forms will still be available until they are gone. You can also complete
Form 122 (304 KB PDF).
